I’ve started this post as an open forum to discuss your likes and dislikes, ideas and suggestions for Toque. I really do want to hear what you have to say, in particular to new flavours as we plan to launch a few this year.
What flavours are in the pipeline?
As far as ideas the ammonia smell for new customers may be confusing. My first order had an ammonia smell so strong in the snuffs I couldn’t smell the flavour, and I didn’t know what it was and if it was supposed to be there or if it would go away, but it has now and the flavours are great the ammonia has completely gone. So maybe a warning for new customers. Then again, my second order didn’t smell of ammonia at all.
Hi, I can’t say I’ve come across anything toque I dislike. My first snuff purchase was incredibly spare of the moment and ill educated consisting mostly of menthols which I’ll only use on occasion. Had it not been for a second purchase through you I probably won’t have kept my interest in snuff. I’m very intrigued by the new products. Would love to see a Jamaican Ginger cake snuff and maybe a black licorice snuff. I think you could work wonders on those
@Eraserhead78 From what I have read here, Toque Absinthe is very similar to black licorice. You may want to try that one.
I would love to see you introduce a Toque Lemon snuff.
I wonder if you could do a garlic toast. I love garlic… maybe everyone hates the idea. But if you do make a very small limited quantity batch Id buy 25g.
And someone else mentioned corn beef and cabbage… could be awesome. When my B&C arrives Ill let you know.
To be honest, a lot of the Toque snuffs I absolutely love are snuffs that I probably couldn’t have thought of prior to you having them out. I’ve had a hard-on for Spanish Gem lately and I don’t even know what it’s flavored with. After that, Whiskey & Honey: I would’ve never thought to combine them. Original, Natural, & Quit are pretty self explanatory. Pomegranate is really awesome too.
I think garlic is horrible in snuff. Yes I’ve tried it. I’ll put it this way two great scents that suck together. I’am going to say this again though. You really need to warn people about the ammonia. If I didn’t know better I would have thought toque was crap instead of knowing I should air it out. Like a warning at checkout or in a colorfull slip that comes with your first Toque order.
I know you make them seperately, but chocolate rasberry would be great. Might would be just the thing to finally get the wife off cigarettes =P
I may have mentioned this before, but a sloe or damson would be great. But my all time favourite would be bog myrtle, or as it’s better known, sweet gale. A truely beautiful scent.
I absolutely love Wilson’s Camphor & Mild. I think it would be neat to try a Toque camphor snuff without menthol.
I’d love to see you out-do the Sam Gawith dr. Verey’s, or something very fresh, herbal, and kind of green smelling. Like the verey’s but fresher, more herbal, a more penetrating scent. I’m into essential oils, and am planning to pick up a couple more to experiment with and see what works and what wont. But I think maybe some of the following oils could work together: (obviously peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender), hops, catnip, blue chamomile, sweet marjoram, rosemary, sweet basil, fennel, yarrow, perhaps benzoin. Scents like that, with a modest dose of menthol. On the most neutral- mildest smelling, base, perhaps an untoasted lemon virginia, with a medium to slightly high moisture level. Probably with a medium grind.
Personally, I’d love to see something coarse and black. Something rappee-like.
The only toque snuff I haven’t liked so far is the Absinthe (as stated in a previous thread which I can’t find probably on that elusive second page I keep forgetting to click on) What about a dragon fruit or mango scent??
I would love to see another take on the camphor/menthol/herbal style. Otherwise, my taste is toward plain snuff, Natural and Quit being very fine examples. More plain snuffs from Toque would be very welcome.
Lilac, Honey, and Super Quit Extra I’m still waiting for a Toque that will rival even the most potent whites and scotches, we know you can do it Roddy!
Joesnuffer,
DRAGON FRUIT! You mean Durian, are you mad???
A few years back my wife and I had some in China town and loved it; so when we saw one on sale in a Chinese market we bought it. The car ride back was bad enough but, when we got home we had to store it in a box at the end of the garden and still we could smell it in the house. One good thing came out of it, we were never bothered by foxes again.
See link for just how smelly Durian is.
Dragon fruit(pitaya) and Durian are different. But ‘Rotten flesh’ snuff would be good for the zombies out there
I’d love to see just plain Honey too. I think it would be a richer flavour without the sweetness of the whisky. I don’t know exactly what Quit is, but I really like it. To me is just seems unflavoured and natural compared to others so I think that another one like it would be good. Then again my Toffee is quite similar to it atm. And my Honey+Whisky reminds me of bacon at times.
Here’s some flavours that would be interesting or just downright wacky : Strawberry milkshake!!!(would love that), chocalate cake, honey/honey toast, caramel, baileys(the whisky) style flavour, hazelnut, beef jerky, gingerbread, marshmallow, cinnamon, latte, apple pie, mulled wine, maple syrup, Irish cream, and cheesecake.
I saw on the Tyra Banks show that Pumpkin Pie is a turn on and a great scent!
“The scent of pumpkin spice combined with lavender is known for stimulating arousal in both men and women”
@Brandasaur Vanilla does the same in woman, and cinnamon does in men. If you ever catch me smoking a straight vanilla pipe tobacco you know what I’am looking for
